...the species is known by many common names, including jungle centipede, orange-legged centipede, Hawaiian centipede, and Vietnamese centipede.
...it is also found on virtually all land areas around and within the Indian Ocean, all of tropical and subtropical Asia from Russia to the islands of Malaysia and Indonesia, Australia, South and Central America, the Caribbean islands, and possibly parts of the southern United States...
I think it's actually Scolopendra alternans because the one pictured has only 4 segments on it's antennae, but subspinipes has many.
Scolopendra alternans is a species group found in the whole Caribbean island and northern South America, with the Florida population reevaluated as a distinct species Scolopendra longipes.[1] They have also been reported as far north as Georgia.
As far as I understand it, it's in terms of soft power. With projects such as USAID (United States Agency for International Development) and others like it, USA maintains the status-quo in it's favour; however, the new Republican administration have been shooting themselves in the foot by cutting funding for those programs. Thus, the USAs power is diminished.
Likely also a lot of financial things, especially after/during WWII, but I really don't know enough about that to even guess.
A lot more can be said about the CIAs work in destabilizing "non-American aligned" countries by initiating coups and assassinating/kidnapping democratically elected leaders, but that has arguably done more harm than good to American influence.
*Also it was, for a time, the centre of the world in terms of scientific advancement and urbanism. Los Angeles had what was once the worlds largest tram network that still hasn't been matched by anyone to this day. Melbourne comes close, but it's still a fraction of what LAs was... Goddamn shame.
To me it was kind of obvious. There were a bunch of accounts that would comment these weird sentences and all of them had variants of JohnSmith1234 as their username. Part of the reason I left tbh.
One of my cats had really fluffy paws that he would stick into any and all cups of water/interesting liquid to soak it up, then he would lick it out of his paw fur. One time I left my office to get a package and when I came back the water I had left on my desk tasted suspiciously of cat litter...
Your local library may have a Mango subscription plan for card holders. You might be able to find it on their website but a librarian would definitely know.
“Duolingo will remain a company that cares deeply about its employees”
Except for the contract employees. Fuck those people.
In 2012, we bet on mobile. [...] That decision helped us win the 2013 iPhone App of the Year and unlocked the organic word-of-mouth growth that followed. Betting on mobile made all the difference. We’re making a similar call now, and this time the platform shift is AI.
I think this is some sort of fallacy, not sure which tho. Maybe a hasty generalization? "We bet on mobile twelve years ago and won, so if we bet on AI now we'll also win."
*It also seems they're using AI to code... those poor programmers will have to double check every single line it shits out because you know, it's a fucking AI. Yet another company succumbs to a CEOs emotional FOMO.
Much of this impact may be attributed to feral, unowned cats, but domestic cats contribute substantially to predation on wildlife in urban areas. Predation rates per area by domestic cats in residential areas are 28–52 times higher than predation rates by feral cats in natural environments (Legge et al., 2020). Urban areas support diverse wildlife including threatened species, with 46% of nationally threatened Australian animals (almost 200 species) occurring in urban areas (Ives et al., 2016; Soanes & Lentini, 2019). Pet cats have been documented as having caused local eradication of native species populations (Bamford & Calver, 2015; Legge, Woinarski, et al., 2020), and even a single domestic cat can have major impacts on population decline and reproductive failure in a bird colony (Greenwell, Calver, & Loneragan, 2019).
Nice work. I also share this gripe, it seems the people at Duolingo are biased in thinking that getting started early is better, which is not true at all. I wish they removed the angry icons and replaced them with ones that weren't so biased.
Like this, but with the kinky green owl:
*I think there is a setting in the app that turns off changing icons entirely. Can't find it rn tho...
If the feral cat cannot be socialized and kept in a safe environment where it cannot harm local wildlife populations then it should be euthanized. No amount of useless downvotes will change that fact, or my unwavering position on environmental protection and my pure disdain for people that think it's okay for cat's to roam free outside.
